Problems solved by technology

Still, despite preventive measures, collars of the clothing become stained and therefore, the clothing gets ruined.
Thus, even though bulky capes provide the overall coverage, they fail to protect the collars.
There are a number of problems with this disposable adherent collar, such that it depends on the adhesive for retention on the collar, and its shape does not provide any additional means for being retained on the collar.
Further, when placed around the collar of the wearer, the triangular shape of the disposable adherent collar would form a bulge, which could be a source of discomfort and thereby limits its applications for other purposes.
As such, the disposable adherent collar is not suitable for protecting the front of the wearer's clothing for application of potentially staining substances such as, for example, make-up materials.

Abstract

A bi-functional collar guard includes two elongated narrow parts and a wide part disposed between the elongated narrow parts, wherein the bi-functional collar guard removably outfits a neckline of clothing by placing a folded part inside the clothing and thereby aligning an upper part of the bi-functional collar guard substantially parallel to an outer part of the neckline such that a fold line of the bi-functional collar guard coincides with the outer part of the neckline.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of Invention[0002]This invention relates to disposable collar guards which can protect a wearer from staining or irritating substances or other fluids and particles.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Hair care professionals and beauticians use different means for protecting clothing of their clients during various procedures such as hair coloring, wash, haircuts and makeup applications. Frequently, various kinds of protective capes or even towels are used to prevent staining or irritating substances or other fluids and particles from contacting with clients' clothing. Still, despite preventive measures, collars of the clothing become stained and therefore, the clothing gets ruined. Thus, even though bulky capes provide the overall coverage, they fail to protect the collars. An example of a protective cape is a cape described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,094,744 to Dibenedetto et al. This patent describes a protective covering in a shape of a cap...
